On February 1, a judgment of the Lusong District People's Court in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, made us think deeply about this seemingly ordinary love story. In this story, love does not bring beauty, but tragedy.
The woman, Wei, and her boyfriend Shi are a couple, and they also share a house with another couple. However, an ambiguous chat in a relationship made Wei hostile to another woman, Fu. On the public platform, the ambiguous language between Shi and Fu caused Wei's dissatisfaction. In the quarrel of private messages, Wei's emotions gradually accumulated until they broke out.
In June 2023, Fu came to visit his sick friend, Wei's roommate. In the rental house, Wei and Shi were also at home. Fu provoked Wei through the door and said, "Why don't you dare to come out to see me when I'm here now." This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Wei couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and slapped Fu in the face, and then scuffled with her boyfriend. This scene became a turning point that changed their fate.
That afternoon, Wei, who had a fight with her boyfriend, chose the most extreme way - jumping off the building. At this moment, everyone was stunned, and Shi and his roommate sat on the sofa**. There was no action until Wei died. This act is undoubtedly a disregard for life and callousness.
The court held that Shi's indifferent attitude when his girlfriend's emotions were out of control was related to Wei's death. Similarly, Fu's previous acts of provocation, quarrel and scuffle are also related to his behavior at the time of the accident. Therefore, the court ordered Shi to compensate the plaintiff 50,000 yuan; Fu compensated the plaintiff 30,000 yuan. This is a verdict that is both heart-wrenching and frustrating.
Love is wonderful, but it also has the potential to bring pain and hurt. In a relationship, we need to learn how to deal with conflicts and disagreements, and how to understand and respect each other. At the same time, we should also realize that life is precious and any form of violence is unacceptable. In this story, we see the dark side of human nature and also the sanction of the law for such behavior.
